New To Recycling? A guide to recycling for entrepreneurs

Any successful plastic recycling venture requires industrial quantities and meeting truckload minimum weights. This is true with everything from bottles, buckets, bags, car bumpers and alike. The industry requires shipping weights of 40,000 lbs. minimum per truckload of only 1 item. If you have less; you have nothing to sell nor can we take if free. Less than truckload? call your city, as we only work with established companies not individuals.


Did you know that it takes 500,000 bottles to make 1 truckload shipment after baling? We ship in 10 truckload units.
